Word Analytics offers robust custom reporting of trending topics mentioned in reviews. It is found under the REPORTS tab in the top navigation.

REVIEWS.ai uses natural language processing to automatically tag keywords by sentiment (positive, neutral and negative) found in all reviews and Q&As for products in your account.

These automatically applied keywords can be seen for any individual review on the REVIEWS page and on a product’s PRODUCT DASHBOARD in the Word Cloud and Questions Cloud reports

However, if a more detailed analysis of trending topics is needed by brand, product category, retailer or other custom filters, Word Analytics is the report to use.

Note: Word Analytics includes automatically generated keywords. To see analytics for only manually tagged keywords, go to Keyword Tagging under the REPORTS tab.

In Word Analytics, you can instantly see top positive and negative topics mentioned in reviews and easily identify specific context connected to each topic.

Some of the most popular use cases include:

Most users check for rating trends (both positive and negative) that are abnormal on Graphs & Charts. After discovering a trend of interest, Word Analytics can help you identify the root cause.

The Trending Keywords report shows you all positive and negative keywords by frequency of mention across for the selected search criteria. This is the high level beginning of your investigation.

The Word Tree opens up all sentences mentioning a selected keyword. This is your deeper dive from the high level summary shown in Trending Keywords.

The default Word Tree view displays the common terms that appear both before and after the keyword itself. And just below the tree, you can see how many times this keyword appears in reviews, and the percent of positive or negative reviews that contain the term.

Use the icons at the top to anchor sentences going forwards or backwards. This gives you powerful context about the trending keyword found in reviews.

If we click the back anchor icon, it will display words in sentenced before the keyword:

Hovering over a word that appears before or after the keyword shows how many times the word appears in that specific order. This helps to target customer problems that, once solved, should reduce the appearance of the keywords.

Each term before or after the keyword can also be clicked, which enables you to drill down to see exactly how the keyword is used in each review.
